TOWN FATHERS MEET.
Bell Avenue To Be Straightened-The
Corporate Limits to Be Surveyed and
Stones Placed at the Intersection of
the Line With the Streets. .
The town commissioners held
their monthly meeting Tuesday
night. A few questions, more
than their routine work, came
before them and was acted upon.
Some time ago it was sug
gested that a report be made of
the actual number of lights the
town itself used. The number
was found to be 164.
The question of straightening
Bell avenue came- before the
commissioners and it was decided
that steps be taken towards
straightening it. Mavor Means
was authorized to condemn such
property as is necessary in
straightening it, and Mr. M L
Brown was appointed as a com
mittee on the part of the town to
assess the damages to the prop
erty. In case the property
owner and this committee can
not agree on the amount of dam
age a third person will be agreed
upon by both the town and
property owner.
It was also ordered that the
corporate limits of the town be
surveyed and that stone posts
be placed at the intersection of
the line with the streets. This
will settle some of the aguments
as to where the town's line now
runs.
His Settlement With the State and
County.
The law requires the Register
of Deeds at this time to make
his settlement with the State and
county for the marriage licenses
he has issued since the 5th day
of December. Register John
ston made out his report Tues
day according to the law and has
made his settlement. During
the time between Dec. 5th, '98
and .Nov. 14, he issued a total of
197 licenses -152 to whites and
45 to colored. . This means that
by the couples of our county
sealing their love, the county,
the State and Register Johnston
have each realized 197. ' This
record is a little short of Mr.
Weddington's report last year.
Probablysome are thinking that
